Welcome to Summer Term!

The Woolly Bear Caterpillar by Julia Donaldson

The Hermit Crab by Eric Carle

This term our driving text is 'The Woolly Bear Caterpillar' by Julia Donaldson'. 

This half term children will learn about Minibeasts and how they grow and change, they will link this to how they grow and change.  We will watch caterpillars move through the life cycle process until we hopefully release them.

Our last book will be 'The Hermit crab', we will use this text to help prepare for change.  Just like the crab, the children are outgrowing their reception class and its time to choose the best bits to take into year one.

Each week children will take part in a 'WOW' experiment, designed to promote awe and wonder and promote vocabulary and question skills.  We want our children to be interested in the world around them and seek to find answers.

We are learning letter sounds using our phonic scheme 'Supersonic Phonic Friends'.

We follow White Rose Maths.

At King's Gate Primary school we expect all children to read at home everyday and a minimum of four times per week.

In addition to reading, please practise the flashcards that we send home to support learning and feel free to ask if you have any questions at all. 

We will always keep you updated on our Homerun app.
